The idea of formal education seems to be limited to what I consider a conveyor belt to make us employment-ready and willing yes-men to popular views/situations, devoid of the very human elements that have kept us around for so long.

I find it encouraging that on Coursera (and increasingly many other widely accessible portals) there are courses that cover intangible but important life skills which can help us become "whole" as human beings. More of this, please :)﻿
